HIIT in football: your key to more endurance?

In football, the mix of sprinting and regeneration is essential. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is therefore a perfect training method to meet these requirements. Through short, intense loads and targeted breaks, HIIT optimizes endurance and speed, which is immediately reflected in the game.

Example exercise for HIIT: 3 against 3 on two goals

In this exercise, the penalty area is divided into two halves, with a small goal on each side. Two teams of three players each compete against each other. To keep the game flowing, numerous balls are placed on the sides and behind the goals to enable quick restarts. A goal is only counted if all players of the attacking team are in the opponent's half. There are no corners - instead, possession of the ball begins at your own goal after each interruption.

Duration: 6 minutes
Break: 2 minutes

With a precise football timer, this training can be implemented even more specifically. Conclusion: Tools like the KondiMaster RC91 perfectly support HIIT training and help you to further improve your football performance.
